Personality

Hedge doesn’t speak much. Although there’s something almost carnivale-ish about the alternating stripes of their coloration, jovial and playful they are not. They are the guardian hedge of a winding labyrinth maze, silent and inscrutable, but always working to protect the treasures at their heart.

Abilities

ACID IMMUNITY

Invulnerability to acids.

BALEFIRE AURA

The ability to shroud their entire bodies in balefire.

CORRUPTION POWERS

Mastery over the corruption of anything around them, organic, inorganic, and magical alike. Balespawn will actively corrupt other creatures to serve them, to punish them, or simply because they find it an aesthetic improvement. If a Balespawn corrupts another creature to the point that it is no longer recognizable in any way as their original species, it may be called a “Bane”. In terminology, corruption and blight may be used interchangeably. The corruptive essences of Balespawn are so powerful that their constant presence in an area will passively corrupt their entire territory.

The cessation of physical aging upon reaching maturity and possession of eternal life thereafter. Can still be killed by lethal injuries.

INFLAMING TOUCH

The ability to set anything they touch alight with balefire.
